Good start, but ideally networks should also be required to provide originator info (number, network, country of origin, as many hops as available basically) to cell phones, regardless of whether a call is blocked or has a different number set as caller id.
So not only would the networks be blocking spam, end-users could then block whatever calls they want. Don't wanna get calls from any VOIP numbers or anyone out of your country? You can block them and chill out.
- mminer237 6y agoI believe the FCC started moving towards requiring that with SHAKEN/STIR a couple years ago, but the telcos were given a few years to implement it.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoNope they have to have it in place by June or July of this year I believe. If the software allows it I will drop any unsigned calls immediately, don't even let them go to voicemail. Let them keep shouting into the void. No I don't care if it causes some companies issues. I'm sick of spam calls. My car warranty is doing just fine.
- social_quotient 6y agoIt’s a good point. At the device level we don’t really have the same controls as we do with email spam. Maybe a 3rd party app like RoboKiller will be able to detect that unsigned call but I have a feeling this won’t be the case.
- MiddleEndian 6y agoGlad to hear this will soon be a thing.
